Falconvan,
At least you did not get a drop on your forehead; people would think you changed your religion .

I think I would have had to change genders, too. Isnt that just the women that have the dots?

[akrateffil]

Now that would make some people talk, lol

[moparjack44]

You do know what those "dots" on there foreheads are for don't you?

Anyway falconvan, love your sticktoitnism you have on the work you are doing. I get so easily distracted and move on to something else, then come back a couple of months later, and wonder where I left off, and where do I start back. Patience and sticktoitnism is not my strongest point.

I've bindi wondering about that.

[falconvan]

You think they'd all be running around cross-eyed. Remember the Steve Martin movie,"The Jerk" with the little handle he made to pull your glasses off?

[akrateffil]

Wasn't it called The optigrab?

That is what I have always heard .

I think the rest of the story is that if the groom does not find a prize under the dot, he has to stay in India and become a computer tech adviser for Canadians and Americans.

I finally took some time and started setting up the Fatman's steering. You get a kit with brackets, tie rod end adapters, and instructions. The first order of business was to get an 89 Cavalier rack and pinion and hang it to approximate the location. The instructions are very good so it should go smooth. The next thing I saw was that I was missing several parts I needed to get so off to the bone yard for a set of Cavalier tie rods, hold downs, and the bolts. I cleaned up the rods, installed the tie rod adapters, and ordered the tie rods ends. It uses a 04-05 2wd Explorer tie rod end. Once they come in I can do the final location on the rack and weld the brackets on.

[falconvan]

Since I'm waiting on the tie rod ends I spent part of the day under the body with a couple tubes of 3M paintable seam sealer and a putty knife. Quite a mess but well worth it.
